Androscoggin County Commissioners See The Light On Communications Consolidation

Androscoggin County Commissioners released a plan yesterday to keep emergency call and dispatching with the county. This decision appears to be in the best interest of the county and will provide equable costs for the services provided.

Androscoggin commissioners unveil unfinished dispatching plan

By Daniel Hartill, Staff Writer

AUBURN — The three-member Androscoggin County Commission presented parts of an unfinished plan Wednesday aimed at keeping emergency calls and dispatching at the county.

All that's left to decide is who will pay and how much.

More than 20 leaders from across the county filled the Commission's meeting room Wednesday to listen to an outline of the plan.

"We're actually very, very close," Commissioner Elaine Makas said of her trio. "I think it's safe to say that we all agree that we would like, as much as possible, for this to stay a county function (with) all of the services we are providing."
